More questions than advice. :) Why are you manually installing procmail instead of using the packaged version for F7? The Fedora packaging doesn't install procmail setuid (nor setgid) and hasn't done so since ~RH7 back in 2001. $ ll /usr/bin/procmail -rwxr-xr-x 1 root mail 91K 2007-03-27 08:34 /usr/bin/procmail If you are running with SELinux in enforcing mode (the default), you may want to look for denials in /var/log/audit/audit.log. I'd first try the packaged version and see if that works better. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Silly monkeys, give them thumbs they make a club and beat their brother down.
